Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 1,3, Universit t Mannheim (Philosophische Fakult t, Anglistik), Veranstaltung: Neurology and Postmodern American Fiction, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit behandelt Siri Hustvedts Roman The Blindfold. Den theoretischen Rahmen dazu bieten die Ideen des Konstruktivismus. Obwohl der Roman durchtr nkt ist von Themen, die mit der Theorie des Konstruktivismusˈ untersucht werden k nnten, erzwingt der Rahmen dieser Hausarbeit eine Auswahl. Aus diesem Grund wurden vor allem das erste und dritte Kapitel (Irisˈ Anstellung bei Mr. Morning und der Krankenhausaufenthalt) im Hinblick auf folgende These untersucht: Die im Roman dargestellte Wirklichkeit ist die Konstruktion eines kognitiven Organismusˈ. Die Ausf hrungen werden auf drei Aspekte bezogen: Objekte, Sprache und psychische Erkrankung. Diese Aspekte werden mit der Wirklichkeit in Relation gesetzt beziehungsweise wird es zu zeigen sein, dass sie zur Konstruktion eben jener Wirklichkeit f hren.

Zones of Focused Ambiguity in Siri Hustvedt’s Works

De Gruyter

This collection comprises essays from various interdisciplinary perspectives – e.g. literary scholarship, intermediality, art history, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and medicine – to analyze and interpret the fictional and non-fictional works by Siri Hustvedt, an author whose reputation and public presence have been growing steadily in the 21st century and who is recognized as one of the most widely read and appreciated contemporary American writers. In her significance and stature as a public intellectual, she is not merely an American writer but a transnational, cosmopolitan author, who develops new forms not only of literary narrative but of interdisciplinary thought and writing, bringing together otherwise separated genres and branches of knowledge in a broad spectrum between literature and philosophy, historiography and art, psychoanalysis and neuroscience, narrative and medicine. The present volume is structured into the parts “Literary Creation and Communication,” Psychoanalysis and Philosophy,” “Medicine and Narrative,” “Vision, Perception, and Power,” and “Trauma, Memory, and the Ambiguities of Self” and closes with an interview of Siri Hustvedt by Susanne Becker in which Hustvedt elucidates her personal conception of her own creative processes of writing.

This book analyzes Siri Hustvedt’s three novels The Blindfold, What I Loved and The Sorrows of an American with a focus on visual art. Siri Hustvedt is one of the most popular American writers today and her work is predominantly concerned with art historical and psychological themes. The author of this book investigates the function of paintings and photographs in Hustvedt’s novels and conceives of verbal representations of artworks as extended metaphors. Her analysis includes verbal descriptions of Giorgione’s The Tempest, Chardin’s Glass of Water and a Coffee Pot and Goya’s Black Paintings as well as various verbal forms of fictitious paintings and photographs. Based on this analysis the author shows how the American novel has moved from postmodernism to post-postmodernism.

Siri Hustvedt's What I Loved begins in New York in 1975, when art historian Leo Hertzberg discovers an extraordinary painting by an unknown artist in a SoHo gallery. He buys the work; tracks down the artist, Bill Wechsler; and the two men embark on a life-long friendship. Leo's story, which spans twenty-five years, follows the growing involvement between his family and Bill's--an intricate constellation of attachments that includes the two men, their wives, Erica and Violet, and their sons, Matthew and Mark. The families live in the same New York apartment building, rent a house together in the summers and keep up a lively exchange of ideas about life and art, but the bonds between them are tested, first by sudden tragedy, and then by a monstrous duplicity that slowly comes to the surface. A beautifully written novel that combines the intimacy of a family saga with the suspense of a thriller, What I Loved is a deeply moving story about art, love, loss, and betrayal.

The Enchantment of Lily Dahl

The Enchantment of Lily Dahl

The protagonist of Siri Hustvedt's astonishing second novel The Enchantment of Lily Dahl is a heroine of the old style: tough, beautiful, and brave. Standing at the threshold of adulthood, she enters a new world of erotic adventure, profound but unexpected friendship, and inexplicable, frightening acts of madness. Lily's story is also the story of a small town--Webster, Minnesota--where people are brought together by a powerful sense of place, both geographical and spiritual. Here gossip, secrets, and storytelling are as essential to the bond among its people as the borders that enclose the town. The real secret at the heart of the book is the one that lies between reality and appearances, between waking life and dreams, at the place where imagination draws on its transforming powers in the face of death.

From the author of the international bestseller What I Loved, a provocative collection of autobiographical and critical essays about writing and writers.Whether her subject is growing up in Minnesota, cross-dressing, or the novel, Hustvedt’s nonfiction, like her fiction, defies easy categorization, elegantly combining intellect, emotion, wit, and passion. With a light touch and consummate clarity, she undresses the cultural prejudices that veil both literature and life and explores the multiple personalities that inevitably inhabit a writer’s mind. Is it possible for a woman in the twentieth century to endorse the corset, and at the same time approach with authority what it is like to be a man? Hustvedt does. Writing with rigorous honesty about her own divided self, and how this has shaped her as a writer, she also approaches the works of others - Fitzgerald, Dickens, and Henry James - with revelatory insight, and a practitioner’s understanding of their art.

When Erik Davidsen and his sister, Inga, find a disturbing note among their late father's papers, they believe he may be implicated in a mysterious death. Siri Hustvedt's The Sorrows of an American tells the story of the Davidsen family as brother and sister unbandage its wounds in the year following their father's funeral. Erik is a psychiatrist dangerously vulnerable to his patients; Inga is a writer whose late husband, a famous novelist, seems to have concealed a secret life. Interwoven with each new mystery in their lives are discoveries about their father's youth--poverty, the War, the Depression--that bring new implications to his relationship with his children. This masterful novel reveals one family's hidden sorrows in an "elegant meditation on familial grief, memory, and imagination" (Minneapolis Star-Tribune).

Iris Vegan, a graduate student living alone and impoverished in New York, encounters four strong characters who fascinate and in different ways subordinate her: an inscrutable urban recluse who employs her to record the possessions of a murdered woman; a photographer whose eerie portrait of Iris takes on a life of its own; an old woman in hospital who tries to claim a remnant of the ailing Iris; and a professor she has an affair with. An exploration of female identity in an age when the old definitions - as some man's daughter/wife/mother - no longer apply, fuelled with eroticism and a sense of menace.

In this moving new memoir, celebrated writer Siri Hustvedt recounts the experience of navigating with her husband, Paul Auster, what she'd dubbed "Cancerland." She walks us through his diagnosis, the treatments, the peaks of hope and the valleys of suffering, and the love they continued to share along the way. It is a patchwork-quilt memoir that stitches together emails sent by Siri to update friends on Paul's health, letters drafted by Paul for their grandson to one day read, and memories recounted by Hustvedt with her signature lyricism and poetic prose. The result is an emotional, full-bodied story of Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster's life together and its battling final chapter, and an examination of the state Siri has found herself in in the time since that parting.
